Machines and plants for mining and tooling of natural stone - Safety - Requirements for chain- and belt-slotting machines

This standard applies to chain or belt slotting machines, to be used in open or underground quarries. Chain or belt slotting machines are used for cutting marble, granite and other stones loose or at the face. They can be stationary or can be moved on rails during work.
An electric prime motor supplies the drive pulley for tool motion. The machines are equipped with one main sawing head. This European Standard does not apply to multi-axis machines and does not cover the difficulties arising from the geomorphology of the stone to be cut.
This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to chain and belt slotting machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see clause 4).
This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to be taken in order to eliminate or reduce risks arising from significant hazards.
This European Standard covers electrical hazard making reference to the relevant European Standards.
Hazards that are relevant to mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic components and to other machinery equipment and that are dealt with in general use standards are not covered by this European Standard.
Reference to standards relevant to this kind of machines is made where such standards are applicable and as far as necessary.
This European Standard does not establish requirements for:
a)   operation in severe conditions (e. g. low and very high temperatures, corrosive environment, etc.);
b)   operation in potentially explosive atmospheres;
c)   supply by electrical networks with voltages, frequencies, tolerances etc different from those of public suppliers;
d)   cordless remote controls.
This standard does not cover hazards relevant to noise.
This standard does not cover operation in environments where electromagnetic disturbances are outside the range of those specified in EN 61000-6-2.

1 Scope
This standard applies to chain- or belt-slotting machines to be used in open or underground quarries. Chain-
or belt-slotting machines are used for cutting marble, granite and other stones loose or at the face. They can
be stationary or can be moved on rails during work.
This standard deals with slotting machines with electric main motor and equipped with one main sawing head.
This European Standard covers only machines for plain cutting (with one axis) and does not cover the difficul-
ties arising from the geomorphology of the stone to be cut.
This standard does not deal with noise as a significant hazard.
This standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to chain- and belt-
slotting machines, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably
foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This European Standard deals with the hazards during
transport, commissioning, use and maintenance.
This European Standard does not deal with:
 operation under extreme ambient conditions (outside the limits defined in EN 60204-1);
 operation in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
This document is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100 and the following apply.
3.1
chain- and belt-slotting machines
range of machines designed, made and fitted to cut solid stone masses, stone boulders and square blocks by
means of abrasive tools which are stationary or moveable on rails.
Chain- and belt-slotting machines are characterised as follows:
 the cuts can be vertical and horizontal;
 the chain-slotting machine has a moveable arm for carrying a chain with cutting tools;
7

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

EN 15164:2008 (E)
 the belt-slotting machine has a moveable arm for carrying a belt with abrasive tools (e.g. diamond grid);
 the arms of those machines can be of different dimensions.
The machines in the scope can be of one of the following types:
3.1.1
transportable chain- and belt-slotting machine for open cast quarries
machine which consists of a trolley carrying the arm holder and the drive and moving on rails. The translation
movement of the trolley on the rails is the feeding movement for cutting. The complete machine is intended to
be moved frequently from one cutting position to another

Figure 1 — Transportable chain- or belt-slotting machine for open-cast quarries
3.1.2
chain-slotting machine for underground quarries
machine which is intended to cut and extract blocks of stone of regular form in underground quarries (see Fig-
ure 2). Those machines can be stationary or self-propelled
